E3 2013: EA Reveals UFC Release Window

Today during its Download E3 conference, EA provided first details on its plans for its UFC sports series, including a release window for the first entry - Spring 2014.

From a tech standpoint, EA plans to integrate an AI concept it's calling MMAi, which it describes as an organic AI system that allows players and opponents to react seamlessly during combat. The UFC series will also include "full body deformation," which is pretty much self-explanatory.

EA did unveil its first trailer for its UFC plans, though the footage did not show direct gameplay.
